EX-SERVIGEMEN IN LINE FOR PROFIT Green Bonus Bill Is Finally Adopted Washington, Feb. 11 UP—A half miilion former service men who hold government life insurance policies stand to benefit by final passage of the Green bonus loan bill although its primary purpose is to facilitate borrowing on adjusted compensation | certificates. | Under the bill, interest profits made on the compensation certificate loans would go to a fund set up to retire the government’s life insur- ance policies which, it is intended, will be reflected in lower insurance | premiums through dividend declara- tions. | The Green bill authorizes the Veterans’ Bureau to make loans on | bonus certificates at two per cent in- | terest in excess of the current federal reserve discount rate, which means that the normal rate to loan seekers | would be approximately six per cent. In order to make these loans, the | treasury would advance $25,000,000 to the Veterans' Bureau, the bureau | giving as security an equal amount | of bonds it holds to redeem insur- ance converted from wark risk poli- cles. The treasury would be au- | thorized to charge the Veterans' Bureau four per cent interest. Inasmuch as the bureau would recelve slx per cent on loans and pay only four per cent to the treas- ury, a two per cent profit would ac- crue which would be turned into the government life insurance fund. The sccurities held in the fund are to retire policles at death-or at term expiration. Whatever profit is made by them (at present it is 4.6 per cent) reflects in lower pre- | miums to policy holders by virtue of dividend declarations.

Face Su-pension Jailers in charge of a gang from | which an escape has been made, are |suspended until the prisoner has been gaught. They then have to give before a judge a very thorough rea- son for the escape. If the explana- tion is not satisfactory, the jailer is antly dicmissel. No second chance is given. They want as jail- ers in British prisons only men who never let u never accept bribes; never allow prisoners to escape from | the tear of their surroundings. The remarkable thing, from the Ameri- can pub point of view, is that they get them. That is the main reason why lcrime in Brit.in is on the decline. A prison sentence is given as a de- terrent, and with the methods adopt- ed in British prisons, it is an e deterrent. y lieve it might - ith advantage be cop- ied by the United FRENCH MANNERS fAre Hurt by Efficiency of Americans Paris, 11 (P—What's good for America is sometimes bad for France, And an overdose of Ameri- can efficiency is one of the things, thinks Madame Suzanne Grinberg, French feminist.
